Double Sided Dtf Film

1. What are DTF transfers?

DTF (Direct to Film) transfers are prints made on PET film, coated with hotmelt adhesive powder, and applied to garments using a heat press.

2. What is DTF printing?

DTF printing involves printing designs onto PET film to create cost-effective and durable transfers.

3. How do I create DTF transfers?

To create DTF transfers, you’ll need a DTF printer, high-quality PET film, DTF inks, and hotmelt adhesive powder. After printing your artwork, apply the hotmelt adhesive and heat it using a DTF-specific curing oven or heat press.

4. What is DTF powder?

DTF powder, or hotmelt adhesive, is applied to printed DTF transfers to create an adhesive layer that bonds the transfer ink to the garment when heat is applied. It is a thermoplastic polyurethane powder (TPU).

5. Is DTF powder toxic?

DTF powder is generally safe, as TPU is inert and does not release toxic compounds. However, during heating, it may release small amounts of Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, so good ventilation or a respirator is recommended.
